Now *THIS* is an important domain to model.

A few ideas:

- A "date first created" property might be useful, especially when the
  "Author" is a cookbook. 

- Recipe Ingredient should have an "optional" boolean. 

- Perhaps there's a need for a "nutrition information per serving"
  type.

- Recipes may have subrecipes (e.g. This cherry pie recipe depends on
  this other double crust recipe). 

- I often create new recipies by stealing ideas from cookbooks.  An
  "inspired by" or "derived from" property might be good.
